Community Highlights:

Hilo is a small, rural and multicultural town. The Hilo Medical Center serves ¾ of the island population of 190,000. Located on the wet side of the Island of Hawaii, commonly known as the Big Island, Hilo offers breathtaking natural beauty plus all the amenities of a charming and vibrant town. It’s known for Wailuku River State Park, featuring Rainbow Falls, with its colorful mists. Hilo Bay with polynesian style outrigger canoe paddling clubs that host local, state, national and international races. The Hilo Farmers Market is one of the best open markets in Hawaii. Suisan Fish Market, Liliokalani Park, Banyan Drive and King Kamehameha Statue are local icons. The downtown features centuries old, wooden storefronts, many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places, housing a variety of galleries, shops, restaurants and cultural sites. Hilo is a historic Hawaiian town full of legends and traditions. An international hula competition, Merry Monarch, fills the town with dancers and spectators in the spring. The University of HI has its science campus in Hilo, featuring astronomy, marine science, volcanology and tropical agriculture. From the place that King Kamehameha ruled all the Hawaiian Islands to a plantation town to a now diverse and thriving community, Hilo offers a healthy life style and exposure to a diversity of foods and cultures.

I recommend watching Wild Hawaii by Kirk Weber on Utube for a true look at living in Hilo.
